Krypton, (pronounced Krypt-tonne or Cryp-tin) the doomed planet where Superman was born.
First seen in the unsold "Superman" comic strip by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster 1934.
It's capitol city was Kryptonopolis, where Jor-El, Lara and their infant, Kal-El, lived. In it's original depiction, Krypton was shown as being inhabited by a race of super-beings.
In later years, Krypton had a super-scientific advanced civilization of non-super beings who only gained their super powers on Earth and/or a yellow sun.
Among Krypton's natural wonders were The Jewel Mountains, the Scarlet Jungle, The Fire Falls, Gold Volcano and the Rainbow Canyon. Other major cities on Krypton included Kandor and Argo City.
